Bacteriophage are the new developmental biology of naming chaos. Some of my favorites include "CeilingFan", "Colin", and "HotFries"

What is your favorite phage name?

I simultaneously feel validated in my observations using GSK2656157, GSK2606414, and C16 but also UGH. The off-target effects of these drugs really had us down a rabbit hole early in my PhD... so glad someone figured out a mechanism.
